/r/FULLFASCISM poster here. If they've banned this subreddit then they should at least show some logical consistency and ban the likes of /r/FULLCOMMUNISM. It's not hard to find posts on there from people who want to see people brutally murdered, and whilst I know some of it is likely circle-jerking I also strongly suspect that some of them are not joking. I mean, there's people on there who'd want to see me strung up from the gallows purely for my political beliefs.

I mean, if your political beliefs advocate violence against minorities than yes, people are going to wish you harm.

Christ, at least fascists in the 30s had the balls to come out and say 'we don't like freedom of speech or you queers and commies. Come fight me.'

Now you all cower behind 'it's just my opinion' and bleat about the meanies that dont like you.

To explain the inherent difference: i want you to stop being a fascist. If you stop being a fascist I have literally no problem with you.

If fascists would just stop organising for the genocide of minorities people will stop organising for the death of fascists. And no. This is not a 'hypocritical statement', not all violence is equal, not all political violence is equal.

From Kouyate42:

Had I actually been around in the 30s I would happily have worn the brown shirt (I'm a Strasserite NatSoc), or even the black, and been an open fascist. Sadly I live in a time and in a country where such an action would be illegal.

As to the genocide of minorities, it's clear from this you've never read a single page of any fascist author. Take my own ideology of Strasserism- in Germany Tomorrow, probably the central book for Strasserism, Otto Strasser himself is clear in his denouncement of the concentration camps (I can even give you quotes if you want), of antisemitism and of Hitler's policies on Jews. He even wrote a chapter in this book called 'A Note On The Jewish Question'. Similarly British Fascist Sir Oswald Mosley never once advocated for the death of or harm to come to any minority- rather he recognised that Britain as a country possessing an empire there existed many different races and creeds which all needed their own attention. Mussolini in his earliest ideas was also dismissive of the concept of race being a concern and only adopted ideas to the contrary much later. Genocide or the discrimination of minorities is not an intrinsic part of fascism at all.

If you want me to stop being a fascist, then present me with some good arguments as to why I should change my mind. I'm an open-minded, reasonable person and with it, I will happily consider any arguments given. However you cannot whinge if I come to a conclusion you don't like or agree with- that's how freedom of opinion actually works. Far too many people and especially leftists seem to think it's a one way street where this freedom only applies if the person happens to begin agreeing with them.
